Eating

They're both eating now, the larger of the two eats a little more than the smaller but they have both eaten at least something. The like earth worms, I suspect as directed by my vet that they are attracted by the movement of the worm. To get them used to eating bloodworms we have some live Black Worms to try them on, nice and wriggly.

Not sure what to name them yet, most likely candidate is "Sooty and Sweep" with Sweep being the smaller of the two.

My New Turtles


Two days since I got back from the Vet with my new Eastern Longnecks and they're swimming around happily. Here is a picture of their size, about that of a 10c peice.

I'm going to weigh them next time I feed them so I'll post how much they weigh.

They're much darker than my last turtles and MUCH smaller and only 3 weeks old. Very cute.
